London 2012

"K2T Wisata"

The Paralympic and Olympic Games of 2012 will be held in London. There’s still some time left, but England is already working hard on getting ready to receive all the tourism in London that will arrive to see all different disciplines and sports in London.

There is a lot to be done to make sure things will go smoothly. Even when the British have a reputation for their good planning, the Coordination Commission of the International Olympic Committee visited the city during three days this week to see how preparations are going.

Reviews of the plans for the 2012 Olympic Games in London will take place twice. The topics covered are very varied, including: security, commercial, integrated operational planning, communications and engagement, culture, transport and volunteers. “We are convinced that this will continue to lead to successful Games in 2012,” said Dennis Oswald, chair of the International Olympic Committee inspectors that took the trip to London.

The visit included a trip to the new timber cycling track in the Velodrome, which is thought to be the fastest cycling track in the world, with an all-around seating design for a better atmosphere.

Post 2012: encouraging the practice of sports in London

When you think of a destination for sports tourism, London is not the first place that comes to your mind. As in all big cities, you can practice a great variety of sports in London, but it is not a city that is traditionally well known because of sports.

Nevertheless, all this may be about to change. The city is now trying to get the most out of its role as the host of the next Olympic Games of London 2012, which will make London the main focus of the whole world.

This is why those in charge of the organization of the Olympic Games in London announced this week that they will invest 135 million pounds to get more people to practice sport after the Olympic Games in London 2012 are finished.

Under the “Places people play” slogan, the new campaign will use the money obtained as lottery profit to improve regional sport facilities, as well as to train some 40,000 youth sport leaders. This way, they are planning to encourage some two million British to be more active and practice more sports in London and in other areas of England.

A trip to London is always fun, but it can be even more if you get the chance to practice sports as well!
